Season to Sing

"Ye shall not need to fight… stand ye still and see the salvation of the LORD… Believe in the LORD… so shall ye be established; believe His prophets, so shall ye prosper.  And… [Jehoshaphat] appointed singers… to say, Praise the LORD; for His mercy endureth forever" (2 Chronicles 20:20,21).  "How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land?" (Psalm 137:4).  "He that hath the Son, hath life… He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son" (1 John 5:12; 2 John 9). 

Jehoshaphat brought singers when 
The battle was the Lord's that day,
For soldiers were not needed then
To set his army in array.  

There was a fight we didn't fight,
A battle won we didn't win. 
Stand still and see the wondrous sight
Of Christ who took away our sin! 

Though dwelling in a strange land now,
We sing salvation's joyful song. 
The day when every knee shall bow
Is coming soon; it won't be long. 

O Lord, You are the greatest reason
For us to sing through all our days.
In every place and every season,
You give our hearts a song of praise.
